Collection: BBQ Charcoal & Briquettes

Charcoal and briquettes are both solid barbecue fuels, but their shape and burn behaviour suit different cooking routines. Alfresco Outdoors & Heating's three-product range includes Weber Briquettes 10kg, Weber Charcoal 5kg and Wattle & Flame Australian Hardwood Charcoal 10kg.

Weber describes its 5kg charcoal as 100% natural lump charcoal that reaches cooking heat in approximately 10 to 20 minutes, produces high heat and leaves relatively low ash. Irregular lump sizes create a responsive fire that works well for direct grilling and cooks who are comfortable adjusting airflow and fuel distribution.

Formed briquettes have a more consistent shape, making them easier to count and arrange in a charcoal basket, snake or banked fire. Weber's 10kg bag suits customers who want a stable fuel bed for covered roasting or longer kettle sessions. Lighting time and burn duration still vary with quantity, weather, vents and the barbecue used.

Wattle & Flame provides a second Australian hardwood lump-charcoal option in a larger 10kg bag. Confirm the current bag description and origin on the product page before making detailed species or performance claims.

Use only outdoor charcoal appliances in a well-ventilated outdoor area; burning charcoal produces carbon monoxide and must never be used in an enclosed space. Keep fuel sealed and dry because moisture makes lighting difficult and performance inconsistent. Follow the barbecue instructions for starters, vent settings, ash disposal and minimum clearances. Never discard hot ash into a combustible bin. The range rule correctly returns the three genuine fuel products.
